TBS Orders Pilot From Steve Carell

Carell and his wife, Nancy, created and will write and executive produce the project, "Tribeca," a police procedural parody.

The article describes the project as "a satirical look at a police procedural anchored by Angie Tribeca, a 10-year veteran of the LAPD’s elite RHCU — Really Heinous Crimes Unit. The single-camera comedy explores an eccentric but brilliant group of people who investigate crime, reveal way too much personal information, and refuse to rest until justice has been served … sort of. These dedicated men and women are more than counter-intuitive; they are nonintuitive."

The project comes from Carell’s Carousel Productions.

"For TBS, the comedy joins fellow pilots ‘Do It Yourself’ starring Bill Engvall and the untitled half-hour from Josh Heald (‘Hot Tub Time Machine,’ ‘Conan’)," the story reports. "Should ‘Tribeca’ move to series, it would join a roster that includes Bill Lawrence’s upcoming comedy ‘Ground Floor,’ the 10th season of ‘American Dad,’ ‘Cougar Town,’ ‘Sullivan & Son,’ ‘Men at Work’ and a roster of unscripted fare."
